I am your Space Dad

GUYSSS FORGOTTEN ISLAND LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL!! 💙

The opening scene with the classroom, and the jeepney...OMG PHILIPPINESSS

this ask watered my crops and cleared my acne thank you

favorite thing about themhe’s exhausted and hates everything and just wants to go the fuck home, and if THAT isn’t a big mood idk what is. (also though he lights up when he’s talking about megamind so you can tell he’s a fan)

least favorite thing about them????????????????????????????????

favorite line“i’m not allowed to insult guests directly.” 

also though i’m going to add a line ABOUT him, which is this one:

brOTPbernard/megamind i guess? i can imagine that bernard is enough of a fan that he could (slightly. kinda) get over his surliness to geek out about megamind, and megamind would be way into having a fan and would probably let bernard be his sidekick, and bernard would internally freak the fuck out over that while pretending it’s nbd. also they’re gay and in love. wait shit brotps can’t be gay and in love can they. i guess the real brotp here is bernard/minion

OTPbernard/megamind/roxanne babey!!!!!!!!!!! thats my ot3 for life i call it beroxamind

nOTPbernard/the forget-me stick

random headcanonbernard is related to lewis from meet the robinsons and also evelyn deavor from incredibles 2

unpopular opinionhmmmm idk if this is an unpopular opinion but bernard is like the best character in the movie and the fact that there isn’t more fanfiction/fanart about him is a crime against humanity

song i associate with themhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7MQh5Yo4RU because this guy in this show is quite literally live action bernard

favorite picture of themlet me raid my huge folder of bernard photos for this. this isn’t technically bernard but i do what i want

Please do not try to "educate" me the difference between writers and executive producers in animation. I have an animation degree. I'm not a child.

 I follow both Brent and Alan on Twitter and have been for like 3 years now. I have been watching their updates since the announcement of the show 2 years ago. I have pics of them celebrating finishing up the writing. Here's proof that they wrote it, including screenshots of the IMDb Brent had linked on his Twitter. 

I said this is not what they consider THE sequel. Obviously it is *a* sequel. I'm saying people should not be treating it like Megamind 2 when it is a pilot for the TV show. They want a real theatrical sequel.

This is a random screenshot I felt was important

I think this person better put what I meant about not as many people would care this much if it wasn't on streaming:

Megamind was an arrogant little egomaniac for the entirety of the first movie. Not sure how you missed that. Roxanne appears dissatisfied with her place in life from her recording at the Metro Man Museum with Hal onward, and does her level best to become the hero her city needs because no one else is going to stand up and do it - not sure how you missed that, either, but her whole character arc is about stepping up to the plate to do good. Well done reducing her to a single career point and then discarding her. I wasn't surprised to see her frustrations with going right back to reporting. That was a headspace that made a ton of sense for her. It was set up incredibly well.

And Megamind himself says, "some days, it felt like it was just me and Minion against the world," so you might think I agree with you there - but in fact I'm going to point out the SOME days, it FELT LIKE. There is no reason to believe that he never had any other professional associates between the time he left the schoolhouse and the time we see him as an established supervillain. In fact, I can and will argue that there's room to interpret *he himself* saying he wasn't always flying solo. It's up to interpretation - but it's there.

And no, Roxanne and Megamind are not and should not be "quasi-dating" unless you want to look past the enormous Bernard lie. Which I can't say I'm surprised you did, since Roxanne doesn't matter as anything other than Reporter Romantic Interest, apparently. The end of the original implies they have *potential.*

But I'm not trying to convince you. At the end of the day, you didn't enjoy something you hoped to enjoy. You missed a few key points about the original, so the pilot of the show didn't line up with some of your expectations and it pissed you off. That's a shame. But instead of offering some grace and recognizing it for what it is - a movie designed for a younger demographic than the original, the first ounce of love Dreamworks has shown this IP since its initial release more than a decade ago, and as much story as could be crammed into 83 minutes because the people making it only had so much time within which to work, which is *honestly a fun ride* if somewhat tonally dissonant compared to what YOU were hoping for - you've decided instead to focus on what it wasn't: What You Personally Wanted. And you've decided to make your disappointment everyone else's problem instead of processing it like an adult and moving on.

Although I have some qualms with your takes here.

Megamind was an arrogant little egomaniac for the entirety of the first movie

Not really, his whole deal is that he never really felt like he belonged and just played the role of "The Villain" because he felt like he had to.

And Megamind himself says, "some days, it felt like it was just me and Minion against the world," so you might think I agree with you there - but in fact I'm going to point out the SOME days, it FELT LIKE.

Kind of a stretch. Because again the whole deal is that Mega-mind felt like an outcast on the side. And the whole reason he took on villainy was because he was forced into that role.

I love canon divergency and fanfic sequels but oh my god. These fans wouldn't last a week in a fandom for a series that's been rebooted/adapted 10 times with new contradictory canon information every time. 😂

When I saw this comment, I knew what has to be done...

So I only want you to know...

I have no regrets.

No regrets at all.

I'll just leave it here
